Nonsense. DCFC networks are already more advanced than gas stations. Which brand of gas lets you use an app to know which pump is in use right now at a station across town? The relevant issue isn't technology (if we're not talking about charging speed). It's accessibility. How many there are...

None. Apples to oranges. The Scout is much larger and with design/engineering decisions to mimic some ICE traits. The Scout's platform is more like traditional body-on-frame large trucks/SUVs—and will drive like one too. The R2 is smaller and a better fit for those not looking for larger full...

Exactly. Supply and demand.

You will have more options. For a while the R1 had only one tire option in 275/55R21. Now, after Rivian had discontinued that wheel size for the R1 (starting with gen2 and MY25), there are now total of 5 tire options including a AT.

It's at the top of my short list. Very good price too. Even for the tougher LT, which are only 4 lbs heavier than the Scorpion ATs. And you can get some efficiency if you drop down to the smaller 275/60R20 size.

And as mentioned in previous post(s), if you change 20" wheels and run the same Scorpion MS tire in 255/60R20 size, you'd get the same range as the factory 21". The ride would just be a little softer and the steering response a less immediate. But that's really splitting hairs. The differences...

Previous post says 44 lbs. So SL. The LTs are 52 each.

Same. And might be better for battery health in the long run.

Don't worry about it. By the time you need new tires there will probably be more alternative options. Or you can change the wheels to 20" factory or aftermarket.

Tire Rack lists the BFG Trail Terrain T/A+ at $275 per tire. Tires for the 20" Premium aren't the BFGs. They are the same Pirelli Scorpion MS as the 21", just different size.

Toyo if you care about efficiency, compromising less of it. And if you are using your S mostly on pavement, but still want looks of AT, why fixate on two options from the off-road AT category? You should be looking at tires in the on-road AT category also, which includes the Bridgestone Dueler...

I saw one today claiming 90+ of those laid off were the entire diagnostics team. Doesn't sound right, but hard to tell who to believe.

Yes. But 19s might not fit because of brake clearance. And EVs are heavier than ICE counterparts of the same overall size. Having "oversized" brakes is not only a good thing it's a necessity for sake of optimal safety. It isn't done just for looks. You call it oversized when it's actually...

Short answer Google ≠ Apple Rivian Assistant is built off of Google's Gemini AI. Unless Rivian work with both tech giants to make certain integration possible, do not expect cross compatibility between products and platforms of two completely separate tech companies who are only interested in...

That's a given for the different size combos. The two size options have the same overall diameter. One has more sidewall than the other. The 20s have more air volume and more cushion to dampen shock from bumps, dips and expansion joints. The 21s have less air volume as well as less sidewall to...

IMO, that sounds like BS based on over-generalizing the differences between forged and cast wheel manufacturing processes. IF that is indeed the difference between the two sizes. Even so, a cast wheel is not necessarily inferior to one that is forged. Forging simply allow a wheel to be made just...

But it won't be stock Rivian equipment will it? I rest my case.

Reading this, two things come to mind. A potential customer (and new to direct sales transaction model) would wonder why this experience promises to be better compared to the more familiar dealerships. And how did these knuckleheads get hired? Just better liars? Hiring manager is a poor judgment...

More likely model name is R2X. Don’t forget they now have the RAD performance sub-brand. And RJ said in recent interview that RAD variants will be fundamentally different (in character) from models they splinter from. For production efficiency, I don’t see X models having different basic form...

That’s been known. The downside compared to aftermarket is charging speed. It looks to be capable of higher charging rates but doesn’t deliver it. To me, that isn’t a deal breaker, since that’s where my phone goes whenever I drive, regardless length of drive. So for my usage the pad provides a...
